Answer:

x = \frac{-7 +\sqrt{489} }{2}

x = \frac{-7 - \sqrt{489} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² +21x-61 = (x+7)²

expand

2x² + 21x - 61 = x² + 14x +49

move everything to one side

x² + 7x - 12 = 0

use quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

plug in the values

x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{7^{2}-4(1)(-110) } }{2(1)}

solve

x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{49-4(1)(-110) } }{2}

x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{49 + 440 } }{2}

x = \frac{-7 +- \sqrt{489} }{2}

In a certain fraction, the numerator is 4 less than the denominator. If 4 is added to both the numerator and the denominator , t
love history [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.

Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.

Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12.  Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.

Now we just use algebra.

x/(x+4) = 8/12

12x = 8(x+4)

12x = 8x + 32

4x = 32

x = 8

So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
